Getting Business Credit For Homebased Business

I get this question a lot. Can I get business credit if I am a home business? The answer is yes. Home Based Businesses can receive credit as any other business. It is a little more difficult to get the type of limits that a Business that is operating out of an office. The trick is making sure that your business is set up correctly from the start. Also being in the right industry. For instance, if you are in the operating a real estate business from home the chances are you may not get approved for as much credit. Verses operating a solar company from home. The fact that real estate market crashed and all the fraud that went on hardly any company will lend money/credit without collateral. It’s all about your industry and your file.
Another myth is that if you have a paydex score of 80 you can get funding.Again it is about your file and industry. If you have a paydex score of 80 with an empty file you will not get credit. Meaning a file with an 80 paydex with no taxes,bank account,payment history,assets,or any third-party verifiable information. The days of 3 net thirties and boom 5000.00 credit limit has been over for a while. Anybody promising this is probably scamming or using out dated information.

Business Credit Score

Most people think that when you get a Paydex score of 80 you can get approved for credit. This is far from true. receiving credit for your business involves more tan and 80 paydex score. It has to do with your file as a whole. A paydex is just a small piece of the puzzle. Your file has to do with your financial risk score,industry,how lendable that industry is and several other things. For example if you are in the industry of real estate you will probably not qualify as easy for credit. This industry is high risk right now because of the whole subprime mortgage scandal. With that example you can get a picture of what I mean.
So this is why building a strong business credit file is important; regardless of industry. But it is a good idea to stay away from high risk industries. This can be googled out. Also you can pull your file not your dun and Bradstreet update to take a look at the dollar amount that the credit Agencies says you qualify for. Hope this clears up the myth of the 80 paydex.

Micro Loans For Business

While microcredit loans first originated in the Third World as a way to help launch small businesses thousands of American entrepreneurs are finding it as the alternative solution to traditional lending.
Many of the micro lenders, which are mostly non profits, receive the bulk of its funds from the Small Business Administration.

In order for these micro lenders (intermediaries) to loan money to micro borrowers there are specific funding and training guidelines set by the SBA.

One of the reasons why this funding option has become so attractive to entrepreneurs is because it’s less difficult and time intensive to qualify for this small loan which ranges from $500 to as high as $35k compared to the traditional lending route.

This new age of micro loans for small business offers a variety of special benefits that I’ve broken down for you into the following:

Business Training

The SBA requires that intermediary lenders provide business training and technical support to its borrowers. This educational component that micro borrowers will need to complete before the application is accepted is a step in the right direction.
By adding sound business training and planning more start ups can avoid making costly mistakes resulting in successful loan repayments and building a solid credit history in the process.

Flexible Requirements
Another area that makes these microcredit loans so attractive is the flexible guidelines for loan approvals. While many lenders are unwilling to approve a loan unless you have pristine credit, business history and sufficient collateral micro lenders take other factors into consideration.
This may include personal collateral and a personal guarantee but what truly separates micro lenders from traditional lenders is the personal character component. Micro lenders take a more hands on approach with their borrowers and go so far as to even contact personal references.

Building Credit
Microfinance loans also provide a way for small business owners to build or rebuild personal credit history and raise credit scores. Many applicants have little to no credit history and do not have the collateral that typical businesses use to secure a loan like commercial real estate, accounts receivables or inventory.

As you make payments on your small loan the micro lender reports its payment experience with you to the credit bureaus. This builds positive credit history and increases your level of creditworthiness in the eyes of lenders.

Once a micro loan is paid in full then most micro borrowers are able to qualify for greater amounts of financing through traditional sources if they prefer.

Time

Time is of the essence especially if you are in need of funds for working capital. Waiting for a traditional loan backed by the SBA can take months where microfinance loans can take as little as 14 days to fund.?

Keep in mind that each micro lender has its own lending requirements and it handles its own approvals at a local level. You can find more information on SBA’s Guaranteed Loan Programs and a list of approved micro lenders nearest you at the SBA web site.

Some additional micro lenders you may want to consider reviewing are Accion, Kiva, Prosper, Zopa and Lending Club. Each of these lenders has its own requirements, lending limits and interest rates so take the times to review which one best fits your needs and comfort level.

The recent economic crisis created a huge demand for this new age of finance called micro lending. With the SBA stepping up to the plate and allocating $50 million in funding for its micro loan program it’s no surprise that this financing option is going mainstream.

Whether you’re just beginning your first business venture or need the working capital for an existing business, this small loan may just be the solution you’ve been looking for.

What Happened

Here’s a sobering thought: Fifteen years ago, the six largest banks in the United States produced 17 percent of country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP); today, the six biggest banks produce 63 percent of GDP. That means that these six banks (Bank of America , JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley) produce nearly two-thirds of the finished goods and services in the U.S. More than our waning manufacturing industry plus all of our software or music or film or any industry that you think of as substantial, combined. 

What caused this exponential explosion of bank profits? During the Clinton Administration, bank regulations, which had been in place since 1933 (to curtail abuses that led to the Great Depression), were rescinded. This opened the barn door and allowed mega bankers to freely roam, eating up smaller banks, developing synthetic (meaning they really are nothing but a bet) investment products, drastically reducing the amount of capital required to ensure bank ‘stability’, and evolving into institutions with questionable financial practices. As we learned during the Goldman Sachs’ hearings before the Senate Subcommittee on Investigations, substantial profits resulted from risky bets made using esoteric financial products.

Major banks with investment divisions sold overvalued investment products to customers, knowing they would plunge in value. Simultaneously, they bought the same products ‘short’, which means they were betting on their failure, while selling these products as if they were reputable and reliable investments.

These financial institutions went blithely forth, leaving mayhem from their customers in their wake. They seemed to hold no regard for the pension funds, college accounts, and other critical investments they wiped out. It appears that a greed culture developed in this largely unregulated banking environment. The behemoth banks, and peripheral enterprises, engaged in practices that financially gouged businesses and consumers. Their actions demonstrated they need to be reined in and governed by sound financial principles. 

When the federal government bailed out the big banks in 2008, they accepted billions of dollars. Instead of using that money to invest in small businesses and make loans to consumers in communities around the country, as the Bush Administration promised they would, the banks primarily hoarded the cash or used it to further increase the size of their institutions through acquisitions of smaller banks. Simultaneously, numerous viable businesses with superior credit folded or shrunk in size because their banks cut off their lines of credit, which they depended on to buy inventory and for other essential operating expenses. As a qualified borrower, you probably don’t want the nation’s major financial institutions to hold the power to dictate your financial solvency by cutting off your access to funds, when your performance has been exemplary. That is what banks did, and can do, today.

The Restoring American Financial Stability Act of 2010, has received much biased publicity. Of course, the legislation is not perfect. There are no perfect bills because the process of making laws involves compromise among legislators with disparate views. Now that the Republicans have allowed the bill to move to the Senate Floor for debate and to add amendments, it will change significantly. No one knows what regulations will be included in the final bill. If you’re interested, the Library of Congress keeps the most up-to-date versions. However, they constantly change the URLs for their pages so you’ll need to enter the name of the bill in the search box. When the page opens, click on the box labeled Text of Legislation to read the document. Like most major bills, it’s a tome. After it passes the Senate, it will go to a Conference Committee, which will include Members from the House and the Senate. They will hammer out differences between House and Senate versions, and more compromises will occur as a final version of the legislation is honed.

The bill that reports out of the Conference Committee will not be stringent enough for some of us, who had a close-up view of egregious practices in the mortgage industry. We know banks should never be permitted to offer mortgage brokers a commission rate that is three times the normal loan commission for products that carry the greatest risk for borrowers. The country faces the prospect of millions more foreclosures during the next two years. Many of these are the direct result of unscrupulous banking practices.

Some will think any restrictions are too much. They preach: Let the market ‘fix’ itself. How na?ve to believe the banks that led us to the brink of a severe depression will magnanimously forgo billions to ‘fix’ the problems. A recent ABC News poll indicates that two-thirds of the country backs financial industry reform. When we look at the widespread devastation wrought as a result of banking practices, strong support makes sense.

Gboogie M.A.F.I.A.

People have seen this reference on the website and have many questions. It is basically a system set up to give talented people an opportunity to work from home. It is primarily for those who are unemployed and have computer access around the clock. The individual would have to be on call 24 hours of the day via yahoo instant messenger. The company structure is set up like the hollywood version of organized crime. That being so, it must be noted that all of our activities are totally legal. They are just set up as “rackets” to keep things fun. Most come in as soldiers and must complete certain tasks to get “bumped up”(promoted). This usually involves bringing in money for the family. Soldiers that display talent and skill, will be up for consideration to be “made”. This brings you into the fold for life. Being made means more income streams and a higher cut of the “take”. Whether it may be an existing income producing website or starting a fresh one. Family members also keep all of their residuals through out every step of the process. As they climb the ladder the work they put in from the beginning continues to come in. The family will accept new members until it grows to a total number of 50. Using this number because only a small percentage will actually take advantage of the opportunity(at least from our experience). We plan to maintain a solid inner family of 30 people nationwide. Others that are interested by dont have as much time to devote may be considered as “connected”. Capos are chosen to run “crews”. For example, A Capo would serve as middle management over several websites or businesses. He/she would probably have a favorite guy/girl that they micro manage to. Crews are kept small to ensure there is enough for everyone and not a dog eat dog atmosphere. This also helps to cut down on marketing overlap. To even be considered as a potential soldier one must have yahoo messenger and be available at anytime even if he/she forwards the messages to their phone. You must sign up for a free tradebit.com affiliate account(seller accounts cost $5). You would also have to register with tubemogul.com and all of the sites that they support individually(myspace,viddler,vheo,etc.). Lastly you would have to submit a photo of yourself for the family tree. You would have to send an instant message to gboogieamerica@yahoo.com to be added to the buddy list. Also be aware, If you intend on being an active participant your stats will be available for all to see. this will create a friendly in house competition and ensure that bonds grow over time. I write this only because i get emails for more information, so i hope this helps. As far as money and percentages. it varies by product and crew. Soldiers are sometimes also pick by geographical location to ensure that there is a member in every state. This guarantees nationwide distribution for whatever the family deals in, and ensure ite longevity. After that, we go country to country. lol

Paydex Score with www.gboogie.net

There is a serious myth floating around the internet concerning the dun and bradstreet paydex score, and business credit. For some reason there are websites helping to perpetuate this myth. I get asked questions everyday about what to do once you get a paydex score. The paydex score is mostly for the public. Its a false sense of security when it comes to business credit. A paydex score simplymeans that you have successfully made 3 business transactions that were recorded and placed on your report. Even if these were 3 cash purchases you would still get a paydex score. It does not speak for your company’s lendability at all. When wondering whether or not your company is ready to move past the net account phase you must consider other variables. You must pull your credit report and look at the suggested credit limit that the bureau has asessed for you. You must look at the other scores that make up your report other than the paydex. There is a score based on what industry you are in. its calculated based on other businesses in the same field as well as their success rate. There are scores based on your financials,assets,and employees. inquiries are also calculated in. In short there are many other variables to consider and the paydex score isnt one of them.

Buying Shelf Corps

Along with other myths out there, people are told that aged shelf corps will help to solve their funding problems.At one point in time(long ago)that was the case. In most cases these corps were not set up properly for the purpose of credit just age. It looks much worse to posess a 10 year old corp that has no buisness financials nor filed any taxes or hired any employees. there is no sound lendability there. There isnt even a real reason to even consider funding. This is the way most of these companies structure there shelf coporations. When buying a shelf corporation, make sure that is at least appears to be a functioning company.Lenders will look at previous business activity as well as a wide variety of factors. They will look for the number of employees and check to see if you have submitted any past witholdings to the IRS. In short, buying a simple shelf corp with age just wont cut it. Even if it has some credit attached.
